I would also find out what he is feeding ( ie live vs frozen/thawed)

If live.. there are problems that can occur with parasites, disease, even a prey item that was still twitching while being swallowed.

if frozen/thawed... find out how he is thawing them...

if the prey item was too hot, or not completely thawed, the food can cause problems with the digestive tract.

but first and foremost... get the animal to a vet immediately.
